About the Owner

Meet Andrea

Andrea began to follow her passion for yoga, health and well-being in 2014, when a year in Australia changed her perspective on life. Through her classes, she aims to help others reconnect with their own bodies, hearts and minds to find true compassion and self-love.

Born and raised in Kildare, Andrea is a qualified Yoga Instructor, Nutritional Therapist and Reflexologist. Her gift to the world is compassion and finding natural ways to achieve optimal health.

  • 2016First 200hr Hatha YTT in India
  • 2014Began her own healing journey

Her journey

Friends describe Andrea as fun-loving, compassionate and adventurous. Her love for India's beauty, healing and energy draws her back time and time again, and it was there she completed her first 200hr Hatha YTT in 2016 with Vinod Kumar Rajan. Her first ever yoga class was with Paul Whelan in 2009, and he has guided her down the path of self-awakening and continuous learning. These teachers opened her heart to yoga, meditation, pranayama and chanting.

She has learned life skills to cope with stress and anxiety that allow her to live a purposeful and joyous life, and her intention is to share these learnings so you can live a harmonious life too.

Training

  • 200hr Hatha YTT, Vinod Kumar Rajan, India (2016)

  • Yin Yoga, Josh Summers

She will always be a student of the practice and is deeply grateful for the wisdom her teachers have shared with her.

Yoga is a way of life, on and off the mat.

In Andrea's classes she will guide you through your asana practice, adjust or modify poses to suit your needs, and include pranayama, meditation, stillness, relaxation and warm smiles.
